Leyzer Rakhmanov


R. was born in 1901 in White Russia.

He completed the Yiddish division of the Theatre Institute in Kiev.

In 1937 he toured as an actor in the Kiev State Yiddish Theatre.

In the theatre he excelled as a fine, young regisseur and had produced several offerings, such as "Donye" from Lipe Reznik, and the Russian play "Di feyern fun leykhturt."

As soon as the Nazis struck the Soviet Union, R. volunteered for the Soviet Army, and in October 1941, while protecting Kharkov against the Nazis, he bravely perished.


Sh. E. from Yona Radinov.
